Fly Tying
Curtis Fry

Funny little Tying Video

Recommended Posts

Brings back memories.

 

I think I saw "Uncle Ken" tying one time back in the 60s at Wolff's Sporting Goods. Of course, I don't remember too much about the 60s, but I learned a lot from watching "Uncle Ken." Been trying to un-learn it ever since.

 

Great thread work, I have long said, you can't learn to tie flies if you don't learn to use thread.

Excellent use of regular sewing scissors. I kind of liked the fly until he messed up the wings putting the hackle on. LOL

That was full of good stuff, but all I could think was that Cooter must be an unusual looking dog.

You went there ... I was thinking ... "I can't duplicate that fly, since I am NOT gathering that particular material."

For those of you who haven't viewed some of Curtis' other videos, Check them out. He is an excellent tier. Can't say the same for his Uncle, Yeah, you have to be good to be that damn bad.

You might get a kick out of this one... (or maybe not). Either way...here ya go!

 

Seriously, that was great! I loved the "Eagle biots," plus the end when there was simply head cement applied to the thread. VERY FUNNY Curtis; thanks for sharing!

You don't need an eye. Since this is such an awesome fish catcher, you just superglue it to the end of your leader.
